[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 755094, member: 18958"] Dear 200Meters. RN just posted today in this thread: [U]Residential treatment coming to a end[/U]. She writes about her own son and his path the past decade or so, in order to reassure a mother whos son is having similar problems. Her son, now 24 or so, is DOING GREAT! I think you will take heart from her son's story, even though it is different in the particulars from your son's, is the same. The common bond between all of us is that our children have become stupid and have gone off the deep end. And then as a result we end up crazy with grief and fear, feeling we have lost control of our own lives and even ourselves. Because we fear we are losing our children. (Do I need to tell anybody how horrible this feels?) *You may not have gone so crazy, but I sure did. What we have to do now is to realize that we are NOT lost. That we have the tools within ourselves (and our faith) to navigate through this with hope, certainty, and optimism. Which you are doing, have done, since you came here to this site. Every step of the way you take your fear and deep concern and stick with your child, no matter what he does and where he goes. I admire you deeply. Be well, 200Meters. I hope you stay with us and don't disappear again for so long. When it's the hardest is when we need each other more not less. [/QUOTE]
